Two smooth objects with a coefficient of restitution $e$ collide directly and bounce as shown. Newton's law of restitution gives:

  • A
    $e \times 4u = v_2 + v_1$
  • B
    $e \times 2u = v_1 + v_2$
  • C
    $e \times 2u = v_2 - v_1$
  • D
    It cannot be applied as the masses are not known.

$A$ particle with kinetic energy $K = 3 \ J$ makes an elastic head-on collision with a stationary particle of twice its mass. Which of the following statements is correct?

Difficult
View Solution

$A$ particle $P$ moving with speed $v$ undergoes a head-on elastic collision with another particle $Q$ of identical mass but at rest. After the collision:

$A$ body of mass $30 \ kg$ moving with a velocity $20 \ ms^{-1}$ undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with another ball of the same mass moving in the opposite direction with a velocity of $30 \ ms^{-1}$. After the collision,the velocities of the first and second bodies respectively are:

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer:
$A$. In an elastic collision,if a body suffers a head-on collision with another of the same mass at rest,then the first body comes to rest while the other starts moving with the velocity of the first one.
$B$. Two bodies of equal mass suffering a head-on elastic collision merely exchange their velocities.

If $n$ balls hit elastically and normally on a surface per unit time and all balls of mass $m$ are moving with the same velocity $u$, then the force on the surface is ..........
